Article Synopsis
- Endoscopy is crucial for detecting esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and precancerous lesions, but improving detection rates is still a challenge.
- A new system using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) was developed and tested to enhance the detection of high-risk esophageal lesions (HrELs) during endoscopy, and showed significant improvement in detection rates.
- In a clinical trial with over 3,100 patients, the CNN-assisted endoscopy group had a HrEL detection rate of 1.8%, compared to 0.9% in the control group, demonstrating greater sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy without any adverse events.
